Time Capsules

About this board game

Time Capsules is a pool-building game for 1–4 players, with play lasting about 90 minutes. Set on a remote planet abandoned by an alien civilization, it challenges players to harness giant capsules that can travel into the past.

As representatives of future mega-corporations, you enter a new Gold Rush: the search for relics, devices, and technologies left behind by the planet’s former masters. Send capsules into the distant past and bring useful discoveries back to the present.

The game features multiple types of components, each offering different mechanics. Combining their powers is central to developing your strategy and acquiring new objects and resources.

• Artifacts, bioobjects, and computers provide distinct possibilities.
• New objects and resources help expand your pool and strengthen your approach.
• Knowledge and artifacts brought to the present provide victory points.

Your goal is to amass enough knowledge and recovered artifacts to win the race for alien technology. Every discovery can contribute to your growing engine, but the pursuit of power carries a warning.

Greed may threaten to tear the fabric of space-time, endangering not only your representatives but potentially all humanity. In Time Capsules, the search for miraculous technology is a contest of opportunity, combination, and risk against the backdrop of a civilization that has vanished into the past.
